Birch Club Fire: Dilip Parulekar, Senior BJP Leader, Exposes Goa's 'Hafta' Culture

Dilip Parulekar, a senior BJP leader and former Goa Tourism Minister, has publicly highlighted Goa's pervasive 'hafta' culture amid the tragic Birch Club fire in Arpora, which claimed at least 25 lives on December 6, 2025. The fire at Birch by Romeo Lane, marketed as Goa's first island club, started from pyrotechnics igniting flammable bamboo decor during a crowded Bollywood night, exposing safety lapses like limited exits and poor access. Parulekar's exposure points to systemic corruption where clubs allegedly paid hefty bribes (up to Rs 25 lakh monthly) to operate unchecked, fueling debates on police nexus and regulatory failures.
